Thanks for the Pen EMC. Very Nice!! Preface: Not complaining, just reporting. Now, I see the Looting IV on it. Hmm, took it to my Wither Skull place to give it a go. After 20+ Wither Skeleton kills I didn't get a single skull while using the sword (Presidential Pen), although my second kill with the Looting III Voters Bow I got a Skull. Now I realize it's not a straight forward equation to equal a skull drop as there is a random part of it. However, me personally, the range aspect of the bow with the Looting III is better than the Toe to Toe Looting IV sword especially when it take 10 hits with the Pen/sword to kill a Wither Skeleton. BTW, I was also wearing a Tier 3 Witches Gem. I have it on all the time. . . . I really like that it's Mending though, else I would never have used it. Challenge: Take your new Presidential Pen and kill some Wither Skeletons. How many skulls do you get? Conclusion: Since the Looting IV didn't really seem to work well for me, I figure the Enchantment was really meant to symbolize the fact it is a Presidential Pen after all. Heh, if so, I think Looting IV is a bit low. -BZ-
I've been using it. I come out behind at my mob grinder because of the extra time it takes to clear the mobs. I thought the pen would be better for boss hunting and seasonal event mobs.
A max stat sword with sweeping edge. Fortune is supposed to accrue over the life of the mob, so last hitting with fortune should not give you a noticeable bonus. But for luck effect...I'm not killing custom mobs, just normal mobs, so I'm not sure if luck still applies. It's a little unclear. I also hold a rabbit's foot (+25% luck) in my offhand but I think all it does is make me look silly. ...did you check your mob grinding for that iron voters sword?
You have the power to improve this. .... --- EDIT: oh, wait, whoops, I remembered again, not anymore... >.< Buuuutt maybe you're excluding that one time you accidentally took the wrong stuff...
You are using it ALL WRONG! You have to remember what it is, its name hold's the secret to its true power! It isn't named the Presidential Pen for no reason! I used it one time and Looted a whopping 500,000 Rupees with it. It unfortunately also seems to be its limit, because it disappeared afterward. My field of combat was the Auction! And just like a President, I penned some words that upsold the value of the pen!
Well, Hand a man a Fish . . . . Very good However, I have been looking into Dual Wield, and as it turns out I should be able to hold the Looting IV Pen in my Main Hand and my Power V, Flame II bow in my Off Hand, shoot with the Off Hand Bow and reap the benefits of the Looting IV enchantment in my Main Hand. I haven't tested it yet, but my guess is that EMC allows for this Vanilla feature. This technique combined with my Third Tier Witch's Gem should yield some good results. Another benefit is I also get the +1 Health from the Pen. Happy Hunting -BZ-
I always use my presidential pen for my wither skull farm. I have a tier one gem, and it seems to fluctuate a lot. Some times I'll get 9+ skulls from a pool of 90 wither skellies, sometimes I'll get 4 or even only 2 or 1. It's odd.
